Each 5" block acts as a canvas for intricate stranding, allowing you to enjoy bite-sized, satisfying projects that come together into a showstopping final piece.
Beyond the square motifs, author Annah O’Leary walks you through every step of the design process—offering expert guidance on color palette selection, blanket layout, seamless joining, and polished borders.
